Btw, you can get a new revised eye piece that has a lock on it so that it doesn't fall off every time. $99 well spent although I guess gaffer tape is cheaper.Hate? No reason to hate either imo. Both are okay.
It's the little thing like a WLF, really good zooms, better AF and a faster 100mm lens that I prefer on the Hassy, but there are nice things about the DF as well. I like all the SK primes and I love the AF/MF lens ring.
I just question some things like the plastic lens shades and the eye piece that I have to gaffer tape to the camera...but nothings perfect.
Love the SK & D glass. I tolerate the relative crudeness of the DF for the glass although it still has some features that mystify me such as the AEB and exposure compensation being linked so in reality you simply just ignore that feature. I shoot in manual exposure mode and appreciate the ability to have the camera set exposure automatically by holding the AE lock button. Ditto the timed MUP release is convenient.
I'd definitely subscribe to the approach of trying the cameras to see which one feels natural to you. The ergonomics make a big difference and will affect your long term satisfaction with the system probably more than features & functionality.
